Andreas Kindler von Knobloch gives good hugs. : exhibition text for artist Andreas Kindler von Knobloch's solo exhibition In Support at Mermaid Arts Centre, 2016.
"Andreas Kindler von Knobloch gives good hugs. I have always thought of
the dynamic of the hug as similar to that of the handshake. There’s
either a powerplay, or there isn’t. And with Andreas, there isn’t. What
exists instead is a recognition of the other person – not the
other/otherness in opposition but a connection to otherness, a meeting
point, on equal footing. Where a handshake might signify a politics of
formality, a hug signifies a politics of friendship. The powerplay is
replaced by a question of trust. It’s about intimacy." Read more here: www.mermaidartscentre.ie
